Jining city in east China's Shandong Province and Ashikaga city in Japan held 
an online symposium on embroidery on Dec. 13, having an in-depth exchange of 
views on the development of the embroidery culture and industry in the two 
sister cities, as well as their exchanges and cooperation in the future.

At the event, Zhang Juan, an intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Yanzhou 
embroidery, and Zhang Haifeng, an intangible cultural heritage inheritor of 
Shandong embroidery, introduced the inheritance and development of the two 
intangible cultural heritage items and presented over ten embroidery works, 
which were much welcomed by Japanese friends.

A Japanese representative said he was deeply impressed by Jining's concrete 
steps to build cultural confidence and strength through the event, which was an 
effective way to introduce Chinese culture overseas.

Embroidery techniques are also used to make Japanese kimonos. China and Japan 
enjoy affinity in production modes, traditional skills, and costume culture. In 
addition to relics and sightseeing, Jining and Ashikaga can conduct broad 
exchanges in such aspects as production technologies and ways of life.
